Oklahoma: Firearms Manufacturer Liability Protection Signed into Law by Governor

Last night, Governor Mary Fallin (R) signed into law House Bill 1004, authored by state Representative T.W. Shannon (R-62) and state Senators Brian Bingman (R-3) and Anthony Sykes (R-24). This new law took immediate effect upon the governor’s signature. It provides that lawsuits may not be brought against manufacturers, distributors or sellers of firearms if such suits are based on criminal or unlawful use of the product by a third party.
